Dementia

Professional, dignified in-home dementia care

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be a difficult, heart breaking and draining experience. DIAL-AN-ANGEL® is able to provide tailored in-home care for your loved one.

Dementia is a syndrome or group of symptoms caused by a number of conditions including Alzheimer’s disease. The symptoms of dementia are caused by the continuing decline of brain function and can include:

Memory loss, particularly short-term memory

Difficulties with concentration and planning

Personality and mood changes including the onset of depression

Changes in behaviour

Mental confusion e.g. forgetting where you are

Difficulty in finding the correct words and being understood

Withdrawal from social activities

Dementia progresses in stages, with the increasing severity of the symptoms meaning higher levels of care may be required as the disease progresses.

What we Offer

At DIAL-AN-ANGEL we provide experienced and qualified aged care Angels® for people with dementia. This high-level care can be organised on a regular or short-term basis depending on your individual needs.

Our Angels can assist with a number of tasks around the home including meal preparation, light housekeeping duties and personal care duties such as showering, toileting and dressing the client. In addition to these tasks completed around the home, our Angels can assist with issues arising specific to dementia.

These specialised tasks include maintaining a safe environment, assisting in managing difficult behaviours, provision of mind stimulating activities, supervision of daily activities and appointments and assisting with medication.

Our in-home care Angels understand that having a familiar environment can assist in the creation and maintenance of a regular routine, maximising the independence of your loved one for as long as possible. These Angels assist not only in tasks for the client but also provide much needed social interaction by devising activities such as daily walks in order to maximise quality of life.

Allowing someone to take over the day-to-day care of your loved one with dementia means that you are able to spend more quality time with them whilst knowing their needs and disease are being managed effectively. Providing this care in the home may also eliminate the need for transition to residential or hospice care, which can be traumatic for those suffering from dementia.

If you choose care in the home under the Extended Aged Care at Home Packages Dementia (EACHD), packages are flexible to suit the individual’s particular needs, and some of the services include nursing, domestic assistance, personal care and laundry, in-home respite and emotional support and advocacy. Check your eligibility with an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT).
